Baumgartner has teamed up with VW for a few things now and the company decided to stick him in a 285-horsepower Scirocco race for this video they've put out. He was apparently one of 18 racers in the event, all of whom had more racing experience since this was Baumgartner's first go at motorsports. Go figure.

And hey, driving around in a Scirocco is pretty special. Most Americans can't say they've driven one, let alone raced it.
